Throughout history science has been the prerogative of white, middle-class males regurgitating their worldview based on their perceptions, and ignoring the female and a large proportion of the global population. Saini writes in a fascinating prose although perhaps her own unconscious bias comes through. The book is rather brief, possibly attempting to cover too much material without delving into enough detail on specific matters. This may make it more accessible to the general reader, but I felt it undermined the grim reality explored. I think I will be doing some further reading.
